Magnetic Bracelet : What is it?

Magnetic bracelets reduce pain and discomfort caused by arthritis or other muscle conditions. They are made up of a strip of magnetic material in a metal casing, or several magnetic beads strung together. They work by subjecting the body part to a small magnetic field, stimulating the muscles and relieving chronic pain. They are believed to fight cancer and other diseases as swell, although this has not been proven.

Types of Magnetic Bracelets

Kinds of Magnetic Bracelets include the following:

Titanium magnetic bracelets

Titanium magnetic bracelets are lightweight and durable. They are available in links, chains, and Italian-link styles.

Hematite magnetic bracelets

Hematite magnetic bracelets are made with magnetic hematite, an iron-based mineral. They usually come in beaded styles and may be combined with silver or colored crystals.

Stainless steel magnetic bracelets

Stainless steel magnetic bracelets are slightly heavy but have a stronger magnetic pull. They are available in bangles and link styles.

Choosing Magnetic Bracelets (Buying tips)

Weight: Choose a lightweight magnetic bracelet that you can wear comfortably on your arm. Magnetic bracelets are generally heavier than ordinary bracelets, but they should not interfere with your regular movements. Choose thin bangles or chains over large beads.

Magnet strength: Choose a magnetic bracelet with a moderate pull strength. Bangles or straps have a more even pull than beaded ones. If you have underlying diseases such as arthritis, consult your doctor before buying to find out what strength will work best for you,

Closure: Choose a magnetic bracelet with a secure lock to keep it from falling. Look for clamp or snap closures that will not snap open with movement or from the bracelet's weight. Avoid open hooks or s-hooks because they can unhook easily.
